3 London Portfolio Managers Leave SAC Capital

LONDON - - Three portfolio managers with a SAC Capital Advisors unit in London have left the firm, according to documents filed with a British agency that tracks corporate registrations.

Alidod Shirinbekov, Woei Chan and Paul Crouch left the firm’s SAC Global Investors unit in London on Sept. 26, according to filings with the U.K.’s Companies House.

The filings don’t indicate the circumstances of their departures, and the traders couldn’t immediately be located for comment Wednesday.

A spokesman for SAC declined comment.

The traders left shortly after review season at the SAC Global unit. It was unclear if the men left voluntarily.

SAC, the hedge fund founded by Steven A. Cohen, is facing criminal charges in the United States, which has alleged employees of the firm engaged in “rampant insider trading” for more than a decade.

Mr. Cohen has been separately charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a civil administrative action with failing to supervise two employees charged criminally with insider trading. Mr. Cohen hasn’t been charged criminally.

SAC and Mr. Cohen have denied any wrongdoing.

Bloomberg News earlier reported the departures.
